LIVING MUSEUM OF THE LAND OF THE HILLS

The Living Museum of the land of the Hills (La Hamaide) is the occasion to rediscover the ways of working the land as well as country life. For 35 years, the museum has been conserving items and presenting old knowhow to public. It was founded in 1974 under the name of Living Museum. Between tourism and permanent education, the Living Museum is a key place of the Land of the Hills tourism.
